About My Clients
Are you searching for a space where your values aren't just acknowledged but celebrated? A space where you can put down the mask, exhale, and be yourself? As a strengths-based therapist, I focus on fostering a sense of hope within. My clients are highly motivated people who are seeking help with identity issues, sexual assault, childhood developmental trauma, life transitions, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, chronic stress, LGBTQIA+-related concerns, & race or gender-related issues.
My Background and Approach
I have experience working in colleges, community mental health clinics, and the Bexar County Family Justice Center working with minority and marginalized communities which includes individuals, couples, and families. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and grounded in strengths-based practices such as solution-focused brief therapy and narrative therapy. I strive to create a collaborative and empathetic space where my clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors from a non-judgmental perspective and maximize their strengths and resources to create a life that truly honors who they are. I will not force you to talk about your past. Instead, we will collaborate and discuss our options and what works best for you. Good therapy isn't meant to keep you bound session after session. That is why I practice brief therapy models that focus on what you CAN do to reach your goals. Together we will work toward realistic solutions so you can back to your life!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have developed a particular interest in helping young adults along with teens and their parents. I believe that the teenage and young adult years can be some of the most challenging, yet formative years of our lives, and my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for my clients to navigate their unique challenges. My academic training has nurtured my belief in social justice reform and my growing knowledge of liberatory and decolonized practices that focus on cultural strengths and community in balance with the individual.
